Tony Blair failed to put a temporary limit on East European immigration, when he could have done under EU rules. He sanctioned the invasion of Iraq, which reduced the funds available to deal with Afghanistan, and arguably gave rise to many if not most of the problems we see today. Bush is on...

On average a graduate earns far more than a non graduate over their lifetimes. A decent degree in electrical engineering should guarantee a very good income. A degree in meeja studies might get you a job in MacDonalds, or a real job if daddy has good connections, or you can blag. Friends from my...

Round the Horne on R4Extra Dad's Army on R4Extra. It's better on the radio. Grand Designs and The Restoration Man even though I'd like more technical detail. Peep Show is brilliant Father Ted, hilarious, the Nazi priest episode was brilliant Have I got News For You I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue...

Well you can always get out of the car and pee in front of the other parked cars. Or you can stumble through the undergrowth at the side of the road in the dark, and fall into the ditch. Or you can carry a torch, walk up the steep bank in this case, down the other side, and have a wee out of...

I'm sure you can find out typical course fees, and work out how much someone needs each year for rent and bills. They do get student loans you know. So maybe you can save just to help them out. The full cost per year could be £10k for fees, £7k for rent, and £7k for food and bills. Modern kids...

I think the Reading journey was typical. I once sat for over one hour stationary outside the Hindhead tunnel, engine off, while numerous emergency vehicles rushed past stationary vehicles. Lord knows what had happened, the traffic got going again, no wreckage to be seen. Southern England is too...

A concensus of opinions is the term used when most people agree. Others have given excellent definitions of the term migrant. Next. I do hope it will be more interesting than this one.

I decided to take a short cut to work, so drove to Basingstoke then to Reading. I got to Basingstoke at 7:15. Jeez, I've never seen so much traffic. Almost walking pace till the A33 dual carriageway, then high speed for a few miles, followed by the M4 junction nightmare. Back to driving to Hook...

As I understand the new tax rules, after the age of 55 you can take a chunk from your pension, with 25% tax free, and the remainder taxed as part of your income. So if you draw £15,000 in one year, and have no other income, then £3,750 is tax free, and the rest is mostly if not all under the...

In my case it was a German Shepherd dog. They used to have the reputation as being nasty, probably because they were used by the police. But these days other breeds get the headlines.

She is a softie, but when an unknown dog barks at you, you don't take the risk do you? As to the last question, no. She never bites, shows no aggression, just barks loudly, it's bloody annoying.

I was once out walking and an alsatian came up to me and started jumping up into the air next to me at shoulder height and snapping its jaws. The owner was surprised I was terrifed. We used to have dogs too, so I like the things. We don't know the circumstances of the attack. It is possible...

I've always wondered about these buildings. How do you fight fires? Presumably water points and hoses throughout the buildings, you'd think they would have sprinklers. And how do you refurbish something so tall when the outside is damaged, it must be a right royal pain. And then when the design...

I think you've had one too many sherbots, still, New Year's eve, I can't blame you. Hic. That's your actual Latin that is.

Glad I could cheer you up, that does make a nice start to the New Year. This is turning into a right old love in.

I understood the emoticon, it's the other nonsensical stuff that need's translating.

Can anyone translate from feckwit to English please? :LOL:

Hey gasbag, he was offensive, irrespective of your disingenuous nonsense. And it looks like bolo took offence. I'll say you seem to be a total @rsehole. Does that sound like an insult or not?

Jesus boots are a no no.

Corgigrouch was extremely offensive to bolo, dismissing his qualifications and indicating that he is useless, as the quote you helpfully provide clearly shows. Not being a car salesman, or a shop assistant, I do not wear a suit. Casual clothes do me.
